Chapter 1810 Makino Aurora
With the first rendering, the entire design team finally realized what an outstanding product design he had made.
Land Rover Aurora is one of the few models with a long aesthetic span. This car is amazing in the first few years when it was first released, and it can still be very beautiful in the next few years. Even in a few years, it is a model with high appearance. Even before Li Mu's rebirth, Aurora has been on the market for so long, and everyone is used to seeing Aurora more, and they still think this car is really good.
Such a design is almost a crushing existence when it comes out now. Compared with it, the current Volvo car design team can be distributed to Siberia to grow potatoes.
It was only after Alexander Vikander found out who his father was after seeing the renderings of the almost real image.
He was almost shocked by this model, and the sloping top shape that made him scoff at him before also became the finishing touch in his eyes.
So the entire team seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and in the following time, they carried out more detailed design work in accordance with Li Mu's requirements.
A few days later.
The complete renderings of the first car of Makino Automobile Group have finally been announced to be completed.
The entire design team worked at full speed, and there were nearly a hundred renderings, including twenty exterior pictures from each angle alone, twenty interior central controls, and the rest were the seats, space layout and various small details.
This medium-sized SUV is named Muye-aurora by Li Mu.
In addition to adopting the appearance design of Land Rover Aurora, the interior completely abandoned the Land Rover thing, but instead brought in the interior of the Mercedes-Benz family.
In addition to the atmospheric and classic Mercedes-Benz shape, the central control also designed a 7-inch LCD screen, but this screen is still in the imagination stage and needs targeted development.
Although most models now do not have LCD central control screens, the technological level that does not represent the performance stage does not meet this requirement.
In fact, the screen is very simple, and the 7-inch LCD screen is not technically difficult. When applied to cars, it is nothing more than improving the adaptability of high and low temperature working conditions based on the original screen.
In fact, LCD screens are not the most important thing, but the most important thing is to adapt to a complete car system.
To put it simply, this system must at least support displaying various car conditions, such as air conditioning status, mode status, audio adjustment and other functions. Then, it must cooperate with users to adjust the car conditions to provide simple entertainment functions.
At the very least, radio and mp3 and cd playback functions should be provided.
If you want to make it more powerful, you can combine the map and navigation functions of the keyhole to realize on-board navigation, and add a Bluetooth module to realize Bluetooth phones and Bluetooth music.
If you want more functions, you have to wait until the smartphone system is developed.
Li Mu now does not have ready-made car and machine systems available, and the systems available on the market are completely in his eyes, so he handed over the design and development of this product to Apple and Muye Technology.
Apple's team is responsible for developing the software support of the entire system, including human-computer interaction and experience optimization.
The hardware laboratory of Makino Technology is responsible for finding the most suitable hardware on the market and solving the entire set of solutions.
When he heard that Li Mu was going to install a 7-inch LCD screen in the car, all the technicians strongly opposed it.
There are several points of objection:
First, the cost is too high;
Second, unstable;
Third, no need.
Li Mu scolded these Swedish brothers so much that they were so bloody.
What a big deal? These people don’t know that this configuration may only cost 1,000 yuan to be added during production, but it will cost at least 3,000 yuan for consumers to modify it themselves in the later stage.
So, if you sell him for 1500 or 2000, he doesn't know how happy he is. At worst, he will come up with two solutions. The beggar version does not have an LCD screen, but the mid-equipment and above are equipped with LCD screens by default.
In Li Mu's opinion, industry insiders who now think consumers will not pay for LCD screens are basically stupid in the automotive industry. In a few years, the market will press their faces on the exposed cement floor and rub them repeatedly, and then cause their pig brains to have a concussion.
As for unstable words, Li Mu heard more.
When it comes to why you can't add a screen on a car, why can't you add this or that, there are always industry experts saying that the working conditions required by cars are severe, often with dozens of degrees below zero and dozens of degrees above zero, and many electronic products cannot be used directly on the car.
Such a theory is basically no different from farting.
The reason for saying this is because they are lazy. They can use their mobile phones at minus 30 degrees Celsius. Why is the car screen aborted by minus 30 degrees Celsius? The mobile phone screen is much more complicated than the central control screen of the car? A little use of your brain can solve the working conditions of the LCD screen. Therefore, such people are simply brain-dead among the brains.
As for those who say they are not needed, they are also standard lazy thinking.
They think that automobile manufacturers around the world only give users a broken radio, so why do we have to work hard to make some LCD screen for them? Isn’t the radio fragrant? Is the tape recorder fragrant? Is the CD player fragrant?
As a result, after Tesla directly put a screen larger than the iPad into the car, all the car manufacturers realized that, oh, what they thought was really fragrant before was actually stinky, and the central control LCD screen was so important.
Therefore, no matter in any industry, leaders must be excluded, and even be ridiculed and ridiculed by those self-righteous conservatives.
As the saying goes, summer insects cannot speak of ice. These people themselves are the kind of people who do not shed tears without seeing the coffin. For them, when will they truly see the general trend, they will suddenly realize it.
Volvo's production line is still under assembly and commissioning, and it is expected to be officially put into production until the beginning of next year.
However, the prototype car does not need to wait for the production line to be assembled. You can organize the production department to conduct trial production first. After all, many technologies are universal. They are transplanted directly from the Volvo platform, and then a muye logo is pasted and completed. It is like some Skoda engines even put the Volkswagen engine with the past logo in it, and then a Skoda logo is pasted on the original Volkswagen logo of the engine, and then it will be pulled out and launched for sale.
Li Mu planned to use Volvo's technology to produce all the prototypes of Makino Aurora, first manually produce the prototypes as concept cars, and then start road testing.
Chapter completed!
